Administrative restructuring in Vietnamese provinces

Overview

Provinces in Vietnam are undergoing administrative restructuring to establish new wards from existing communes.

In Gia Lai province, the Provincial People's Committee initiated a public consultation process in September 2026. The directive sought opinions from households in five communes—Phu My, Tay Son, Tuy Phuoc, Chu Se, and An Nhon Tay—regarding a proposal to create new wards. The process required a minimum 50% household approval rate to proceed with final documentation.

In An Giang province, the Provincial People's Council approved a resolution to convert 22 existing communes into new wards. This restructuring, which covers an area of over 2,000 km² and a population exceeding 1.267 million people, will bring the province's total to 36 wards. The decision was based on meeting administrative unit standards and follows significant urban development and infrastructure investment in the region.
